Chapter 1,147 Three housekeepers, the anonymous county examination
The next day.
After Li Wan, Tanchun and Daiyu greeted their elders, they came to Tanchun's room in Bishaqi and sat down together.
Li Wan is the eldest daughter-in-law of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Logically speaking, among the three female housekeepers, Li Wan should be in charge, with Tan Chun and Dai Yu as assistants.
However, since the death of her husband, Li Wan's heart felt like a dead tree.
Li Wan had no interest in things like the housekeeper, who seemed to others to have great power.
Therefore, the three women discussed it and recommended Tanchun as the main one.
Although Tanchun was less than twelve years old, he had a strong temper. As soon as he took over the power, he carried out his orders. He first ordered people to get the account books of previous years, and based on the account books, he ordered people to list the major events in the past month or two. .
With the account books from previous years to rely on, Tanchun, Li Wan, and Daiyu worked together and figured out the process in just a few days.
And because Lai Dalai, a second-class housekeeper, had just been beheaded, the servants did not dare to make any attempt at this time.
Everyone in Rongguo Mansion thought that this Spring Festival would be a bit hectic for everyone.
After all, Li Wan, Tan Chun, and Lin Daiyu are all first-time housekeepers.
Moreover, there are more than twenty housekeepers missing in the mansion.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing have been worried about this matter for several days, fearing that the three girls would make some mistakes or make some jokes.
As a result, the rest of the month passed by in the blink of an eye.
The Spring Festival has passed, Jia Mu's birthday has also passed, and the entire Rongguo Mansion is still running in an orderly manner.
Li Wan, Tan Chun, and Lin Daiyu had no intention of complaining about being tired.
Everyone remembered that in the past, Wang Xifeng shouted to himself every day that "the housekeeper is hard and the housekeeper is tired".
After comparing the before and after, everyone suddenly understood how ridiculous Wang Xifeng's "complaining about being tired" was in the past.
Under such circumstances, Jia Lian quietly reconciled with Wang Xifeng.
Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion just sighed and forgot all about the happy times that Wang Xifeng had brought to everyone in the past.
The sixth day of February.
The day of the county examination in Chang'an County.
The ugly time has just passed.
Su Mingzhe was woken up by the attacker.
After washing up and dressing properly, Su Mingzhe looked at the dry breakfast on the table and suddenly became a little unhappy:
"How come you don't even have any porridge this morning? Aren't you afraid that I'll die of thirst?"
Xiren listened and explained with a smile:
"Second Master, you are going to take the county examination. From now on, it will take almost three hours to get your license plate. If you drink gruel and there is no place to go to the toilet by then, are you going to shit your pants?"
"How did you girl learn to be so sharp-tongued from Qingwen? Have you forgotten how powerful your second master is?"
As Su Mingzhe spoke, he reached out to pinch the attacker's vitals, preparing to let her know how powerful he was.
It was Qingwen who walked in with a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest, interrupting the two people's play:
"Don't make trouble, please be careful. Madam will come over and skin Xiren's sister!"
When Qingwen mentioned Mrs. Wang, Xiren immediately trembled and quickly moved away from Su Mingzhe:
"Second Master, please hurry up and eat. We are about to leave."
Su Mingzhe finished his meal in several mouthfuls and had just rinsed his mouth when he saw the maid Qianxue walking in with the eldest maid Yuanyang beside Jia Mu.
As soon as Yuanyang entered the door, he giggled and said:
"Has the second master already had dinner? The old lady was worried and insisted that I come and take a look. I said, there are two big girls, Xiren and Qingwen, how could the second master get up late and miss something?"
When the attacker saw only Yuanyang entering the door, he asked casually:
"Sister Yuanyang, are the girls not up yet?"
"How can I not afford it when I get up?"
Yuanyang pointed to the door with a smile and said with a smile:
"Miss Lin originally wanted to come over, but I stopped her. After all, it's still early and it's not convenient for her to come over."
"However, although Miss Lin herself did not come, she sent Zicuckoo to see her off on her behalf. The three girls in our family also sent maids and are waiting outside."
Su Mingzhe unfolded his consciousness and saw Lin Daiyu's maid Zijuan, Sanchun's chess player, Shushu, Ruhua, and Mrs. Wang's golden necklace all waiting outside.
After getting up and going outside, the maids from all over came to greet him and expressed their master's wishes.
Su Mingzhe took them one by one.
At this time, Li Gui outside reminded that it was almost time and it was time to set off.
Xiren stopped the young man Mingyan and checked the items on the test basket again.
After confirming that the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, snacks, tea, etc. were all correct, Mingyan was put away again.
Accompanied by Li Guimingyan and Li Guimingyan, Su Mingzhe arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion and met Jia Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time, and Jia Xu, a native of Chang'an County who had vouched for him.
Jia Xu's ancestor was not from Rongning Erfu clan, but because his ancestors were related to each other, they had contact with each other.
When Jia Xu saw Su Mingzhe going out, he quickly raised his hands and said:
"Brother Bao is here!"
Su Mingzhe returned the gift:
"Brother Xu, I'm sorry!"
Everyone got on the carriage that had been prepared and rushed to the examination room.
After Su Mingzhe reported it, Jia Xu's mission was completed.
Su Mingzhe carried the examination basket and walked into the examination room.
At this time, someone searched me.
These searchers are basically the county's yamen servants, patrollers, and Wuhou.
Because they had said hello in advance, they all knew Su Mingzhe, the ‘Prince Baoyu’ of Rongguo Mansion, so they did a symbolic search and put it in.
After everyone's body search was completed, the examination room began to close the gantry.
At this time, the sky began to light up.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
The county magistrate took everyone to the front of the official hall to worship the sages and explain the rules.
After the training was over, number plates began to be issued.
Each number plate corresponds to a number house.
Because this is just the first test room for the county examination, and you can leave after taking one paper, so the area of the dormitory is not large, and it is just enough for people to sit down.
There are fifty dormitories in each row, and there are more than fifty rows in total, which can serve more than 2,000 candidates for reference at the same time.
There are only more than 1,500 candidates who registered this year, so some number plates near toilets were not issued.
Everyone received their number plates and entered the dormitory.
When it was about 3 o'clock, it started to curl.
Su Mingzhe received the paper, polished it first, and then reviewed the questions.
Once you have the answer in mind, answer the question on the scratch paper.
After answering the questions on the scratch paper, I checked them and found that there were no taboo words before copying them onto the test paper.
Before noon, Su Mingzhe had finished all this.
County examinations do not reveal names.
Su Mingzhe didn't bother to pretend, so he directly raised his hand to hand in the paper.
The patrolling soldiers have been paying attention to Su Mingzhe. After all, this is the young master of Rongguo Mansion.
The soldiers trotted over and learned that Su Mingzhe was going to hand in a paper. He quickly opened the cell and asked Su Mingzhe to come to the front of the official hall.
The county magistrate, county school teaching edict, exhortation, Xuezheng and others were surprised to see Su Mingzhe, the young master of Rongguo Mansion, handing in his papers so quickly, but they could only order someone to bring him the papers.
Su Mingzhe is twelve years old this year, and the test paper used for the exam is called the "underage test paper", and the questions are simpler than the "adult test paper".
The county magistrate, the imperial edict, and six others placed the test papers on the table. They did not ask Su Mingzhe any questions, but first helped to check the test papers.
The first thing to check is whether there are any taboo words.
Make sure there are no taboos, and check again to see if the sentences are smooth.
When the serious problem was not found, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and could draw circles.
The so-called drawing a circle is to be selected.
Circles are divided into large circles and small circles.
Once you enter the small circle, you have passed 100%.
Once you enter the big circle, you still need to participate in the next few 'retests' to confirm your success.
The county magistrate and the edicts confirmed that it was correct, so they stamped Su Mingzhe's paper and determined Su Mingzhe's quota.
The county examination is that simple.
After the county examination is completed, if the paper is submitted in advance, you need to wait for ten or twenty people to open the gantry and let people out.
This is called ‘putting the first card’.
Su Mingzhe came to the waiting place. There were already five or six people here.
No one could speak, they just stood there.
After waiting for about ten minutes, ten people were gathered.
The yamen servant opened the dragon gate and let ten people out.
Su Mingzhe casually bowed with his companions and went straight to Li Gui, Ming Yan and Jia Xu who were waiting for him.
